Turner Classic Movie host Ben Mankiewicz joins EW’s Shana Naomi Krochmal and Piya Sinha-Roy to definitively determine how an Academy Award-winning movie – or a losing one, or one that never even makes the nominations cut – might eventually become a time-honored, widely respected, and beloved classic film. Plus, we discuss who oddsmakers are predicting will win the big Oscars categories, how many awards shows Alfonso Curaon attend in one week, what cinematographers find funny, and whether rom-coms will ever get the respect they deserve. Piya also chats with director Pawel Pawlikowski about his beautiful black-and-white film, ‘Cold War.’
